Planetary Close Encounters #3 – Saturn

Two days after encountering Mars, the waning crescent Moon now passes Antares and appears close to Saturn. It’ll continue to move on toward both Mercury and Venus on the 6th.

If you live in the northern hemisphere, that might be your best chance to catch Mercury as it’s still low on the horizon. However, if you live in the south, it should be easily seen in the east some time before sunrise.
